Custom Contact Forms, CVE-2026-75018

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-75018
Home page URL: Security reports for Custom Contact Forms
Application: Custom Contact Forms
Published on: Sep 05, 2026
Research Description: The Custom Contact Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 7.16. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to permanently force-delete arbitrary posts of any post type (including pages, administrator-authored posts, and WooCommerce products) and write arbitrary ccf_field_* post meta onto any post regardless of ownership or post type. The top-level form ID is checked via edit_post/publish_posts, but the nested fields[].ID and choices[].ID paths processed by _create_and_map_fields() and _create_and_map_choices() carry no equivalent capability or post-type guard, leaving those sinks fully exposed while delete_item() and delete_submission() contain explicit post-type restriction fixes demonstrating the developer's awareness of scoping requirements.
Affected versions: max 7.16.1.
Status: vulnerable
